Instructions

Remove the salmon from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you want to cook it to take the chill off it.

Set up the barbecue for indirect heat cooking at 120C/250F (or preheat the smoker to 120C/250F).

Place the salmon on a cooking tray, skin-side down.

Brush on the chipotle sauce, then drizzle on the honey and spoon with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper.

Place on the barbecue over indirect heat for 35-45 minutes, until an internal temperature probe in the thickest part of the salmon reads 55-60C/131-140F (see notes section for other methods of checking doneness).

Rest for 5 minutes, then serve.
